BROOKFIELD — On Friday, September 28, naturalist Sally Cornwell will lead families on a Moonlight Walk from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Moose Mountains Reservation in Brookfield. The event is presented by Moose Mountains Regional Greenways and sponsored by Trager Massage, LLC.

This event will start near dusk with the moon nearly full and rising. The guided walk will follow about a mile of woods roads and foot paths to the old Burrows Farm, during which Cornwell will talk about the wildlife that can be seen and heard along the way. The destination will be a hillside, where Cornwell will further educate and entertain children and parents with stories from the Native American tradition.

Cornwell, a self-taught naturalist, has been leading nature programs for adults and children for over 20 years. She has led several outings for MMRG, including some very popular winter snowshoe treks and an edible plants walk.

The cost of the outing is $5/person or $10/family. Participants are asked to preregister for the walk by calling (603) 978-7125 or emailing info@mmrg.info. Please bring blankets to sit on and flashlights if needed for the return walk.

Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) is a nonprofit land conservation organization working to conserve and connect important water resources, farm and forest lands, wildlife habitats, and recreational land in Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. MMRG partnered with the Society for the Protection of NH Forests to conserve the 2,300-acre Moose Mountain reservation, now owned and managed by the Forest Society.

Throughout the year, MMRG offers many educational opportunities to inform all ages about the benefits of our region's natural resources. For more information and a calendar of upcoming events, visit www.mmrg.info.
